Well, it's not really a request, and more a list of suggestions Some of them may already be in development

1. ability to filter product list more accurately.
Currently, we can filter by category, genre and product line, but we cannot filter on several item at once. For example : I'd like to see all products that are either Fantasy OR Universal

2. ability to sort product list.
I'd like to be able to sort the product list according to my needs. For example, see all products sorted by genre then by product line, then by name

3. ability to group the product list by a criteria
Similar to 2, I'd like to be able to separate products according to a criteria, yet seeing all products.
For example, see all fantasy products grouped by category (they in fact will be sorted by category, but with some kind of separator between all categories, with maybe a title header naming the category...)

4. ability to do all the above on my collection/collection of given user
Hell, I have 5 pages of products in my collection, I'd like to be able to filter, sort, group them, to more easily search them.

5. ability to add keywords to products in my collecttion
That would be really cool if I can add my own keywords on products, keyword that I could then use to filter/sort/group. For example, I want to see all sets that I used to create that particular setting...

What do ya think? other ideas of cool features to add to our browsing experience?

Not really. By the time the whole Super Sortable Filter-O-matic 9000 stuff was brought up in beta, it was way too close to the launch deadline for me to go back and rewrite, re-debug, and re-polish most of the catalog code to support those features. It'd have set the launch back by at least a few weeks, and we really wanted the store online and debugged before GenCon.

So, not in this version of the storefront. The next version, definitely. The current storefront is actually more of a version 1.5, an interim "bridge" to the ultimate store-to-end-all-stores that Denny really wants. His actual plans are so incredibly ambitious that there was just no way in hell we could go straight from, like, your grandpa's shopping cart to what he wanted without forcing a hard reboot of everyone's account data, so we had to break it down into baby steps and gradually work our way to the end goal in an incremental fashion.

As for other feature requests...well, I can tell you guys right now that after spending months grinding away at the storefront, and it having only been live for a couple days, I'm kind of wanting to enjoy the delusion that my job's done for a little while longer!

I can definitely sympathize with that. Although, the list of requests so far could be much more outlandish and complex. You did a more than decent job of adding tons of cool features. Great job guys.

I am also fully with you on that It was just ideas that popped out of my mind and I wanted to share. Maybe some of these may come to life... soon

I will say that I'm quite happy that the original release date of each set is now being reported when you look at each set in the storefront. On the old website, it would sometimes be a little confusing how recent certain sets were.

That was actually there before just harder to see.

Of course you could always use this to give you an idea how old some of the sets are...

Long story short, it's a known problem which would have been much easier to fix BEFORE the store went live, but we didn't catch it until it was too late. So as not to bore anyone with the technical details, the migration scripts were using product SKUs as lookup keys during the download generation phase. Some products had their SKUs accidentally changed when they moved to the new storefront, and those products were erroneously processed as discontinued items, which show up in order histories but NOT in the downloads collection.

Because a lot of new orders had already been made on the new storefront before we discovered the problem, we can't just wipe the slate clean and start over again. In order to not destroy the database and mess things up for EVERYBODY, the fix for this is a careful, time-consuming task that requires planning and test rehearsals on a local copy of the database. I'm working on it, but it's gonna take a little bit more time to fix cleanly.

As for the review editing thing, you can get in touch with a moderator--they can edit reviews on the storefront as well. Allowing self-editing is something that was discussed, but was one of the features that were temporarily cut in order to meet the launch deadline.

Customer support turnaround...I know Denny's been up to his ears with a lot of things lately with the Terraclips launch and lots of other things in the backburner. Until we find a dedicated customer support person again, he's personally dealing with customer service issues (not technical issues, that's me) all by himself. I'm sure he'll take care of you as soon as he has a chance to.
